Classic Infoset

Definition

A classic InfoSet provides a view of a dataset that you report on. You use the InfoSet query for this purpose. The classic InfoSet determines which tables, or fields within a table, an InfoSet query references.

Use

As of Release BW 2.0B, InfoSets are used in the Business Information Warehouse for InfoObjects (master data), DataStore objects, and joins for these objects. These InfoSets are not BI Repository objects but SAP Web Application Server objects. The InfoSet query can be used to carry out tabular (flat) reporting on these InfoSets.

As of Release BW 3.0, these InfoSets are called classic InfoSets.

Infoset

Description of a specific kind of InfoProvider: InfoSet describes data sources that are defined as a rule as joins of DataStore objects, standard InfoCubes and/or InfoObjects (characteristics with master data). A time-dependent join or temporal join is a join that contains an InfoObject that is a time-dependent characteristic.

An InfoSet is a semantic layer over the data sources.

Unlike the classic InfoSet, an InfoSet is a BI-specific view of data.

For more information see the following documentation: InfoProviders, Classic InfoSets.

Hi Chandrashekara,

From help.sap.com, it says......

An InfoSet is a semantic layer over the data sources and is not itself a data target.

Unlike the classic InfoSet, and InfoSet is a BW-specific view of data.

For detailed information, see here:

Hello ChandrA,

How r u ?

InfoSet is for MasterData objects as well as ODS objects in BW. If we use RSQ02 then it is possible to extract data from tables or views. InfoSets determine the tables or fields within a table to which a query can refer. InfoSets are usually based on table joins or logical databases.

Classical Infosets are dedicated only for ODS objects.
